Product Description
In this issue we take you to a unique shop in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where truly fabulous furniture is made from unlikely materials by
Steve Heller and to the backwoods of Kentucky for the first part of a series on windsor chairmaking, by
David Wright.
Safety and efficiency are two really important concerns for every woodworker, and there is no one better qualified than Kelly Mehler to explain how to avoid kickback accidents on the tablesaw, or Dennis Collins to demonstrate a brand new approach to frame-and-panel construction.
And whatever your woodworking bent, you need sharp tools. Almost no area of woodworking is so mysterious as sharpening, so let Harrelson Stanley share some of the secrets of waterstone use.
In addition to these great features that you will return to time-and-time again, you will also find regular departments, such as Reviews, where we not only keep abreast of the best in books and videos, but where we also get to meet the actual author: in this issue, none other than the well-known writer and woodworker, Mario Rodriguez; and the Gallery, where in addition to being inspired by a variety of contemporary work we also meet the creator: in this issue a true regional master: Warren May, talking about a unique American style: Kentucky Furniture.
Of course, every woodworking magazine has a techniques department, but in WOODWORKING . . . in action!!! you get it live. And what better way to become acquainted with new products than to see them actually used, as we do this time at the Demo Bench with a couple of innovative products from the premier US planemaker, Lie-Nielsen.
